which characterlzes, more or less, lilo

It's in consequence of this general
shrlnkage that in advanced LIE The

often giving rise, by pressure on Tie

whose face was wholly without
wrinkles. This was a very exceptional
case. For the great body of us, if VIC
attain length of days, must take them
with the addition of physical decay.
Even the proud belle. must make up
her mind for wrinkles; but if, as she
grows older, she grows in good sense,
intelligence and kindly sympatbies, her
beauty OF character will have an attrac.
ton far beyond beauty of face.
While wrinkles result from the natlt-
raj working OF the system. they may
also be caused by II perverted condi-
ton of the system, as are pimples,
blotches and boils. Now the human
face-unlike that of brutes--was meant
to be the ''mirror of the m nd, = the
visible expression of every passion.

its chief beauty. Hence its numerous
muscles and nerves. whereby it is SC
